Having worked with a strike drone in an area controlled by the enemy and eliminating the occupiers, they noticed a Ukrainian soldier from another brigade tied up in a trench, explained one soldier.
“Our drone operator (call sign ‘Kevin’) attracted the attention of the prisoner by flashing the lights on the Mavic UAV. The guy on the ground sorted out the situation quickly, realized that the drone was not Russian, and started following it. When we were taking our comrade out one survived "orc" suddenly appeared. The Russian did not see our Mavic and, still having one grenade on it, he began to wave his hands at the Ukrainian soldier to order him to return,” the soldier wrote.
“Then ‘Kevin’ threw a grenade at the occupier and killed him. After that, he (‘Kevin’ – ed.) just continued to exfiltrate his comrade," the paratroopers said.
